How I diagnosed Mercury Toxicity Without a Challenge Test

[Mada_]

My intention with starting Mercury chelation was to rule out toxicity if I didn't have it, and get it the fuck out if I did. 

I completed all of the steps to beginning chelation outlined in the ACC protocol, I got X-Rays, Hair Test, did a thiol elimination diet like 5 times. Did core 4 supplements leading up to taking any chelating agent. 

My hair tests met "counting rules", indicating I was mercury toxic, and I have never had Amalgam Fillings, the general advice I got was that I was safe to jump into chelating with ALA. 

I begun with 25mg every 3  hour, and quickly shortened it to every 2.5 hours. 

I have done through "what mercury does to you" in the Amalgam Illness book with a fine tooth comb, and as I'm chelating I'm looking for distinct symptoms that are completely out of the ordinary for me, corroborated in this section of the book. The main difference whole chelating is very infrequent tinnitus, it's different from the tinnitus that I hear after being at a nightclub, it's quite a bit louder than usual and only last for a few seconds. It only begun whilst chelating. This is an indication to me that ALA is in fact interacting with Mercury in the body, and I will continue with this chemical until I reach 300mg every 2.5 hours with no symptoms.

It started after chelating? I don't recall that in the book. 

I have heard of people complain prior, but not after. Also, something to consider is that you might have just not noticed it before. I can go months forgetting that I have that.

I also missed a dose on my first round and had distinct redistribution symptoms, headache, brain fog etc. 

 

My second round I probably had the worst brain fog I've ever had, since then it's been smooth sailing with extre occasional tinnitus. 

People complain post chelation all the time, search tinnitus in the FB group. Mercury related symptoms don't diminish as soon as you start chelating.
